See below, for an apt illustration of how Sarah Palin navigates questions in debates and interviews.

If you think it’s not true – look at the stats. Since Barack named Joe Biden as his running mate, Biden’s done over 100 interviews/debates/etc. Palin has done three, all of which were total disasters. You don’t think so? Hmmm…maybe you don’t remember this hot mess:

I seriously hope Tina Fey gets an Emmy for her comedy work on SNL during the 2008 election. Because this shit is amazing. Queen Latifah (as the debate moderator) is such a blunt instrument of an “actress”, and Jason Sedakis (as Joe Biden) was a little obvious too – but who the f@#$ cares, for real. Tina Fey as Sarah Palin was, as usual, SPOT on. As my new roomie Joannah said last night, “It’s even funnier b/c half of it is taken verbatim!” So true, JoJo, so true.

Some of my favorite moments:

“I think marriage should be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers.” (LOL!)

“I love Israel so much. Bless it’s heart.”

“Oh, are we not doing the talent portion?” (Plays a flute)

“And for all of you Joe-Six-Packs at home playin’ a drinkin’ game: Maverick!” (Takes a ghost-swig.) – this one in particular made us laugh because, as you’ll remember from my vp debate breakdown, we actually tried to PLAY that drinking game. =) Good times.

Sarah Palin is officially a legend! Hustler Video is shooting a porn with a look-alike titled “Nailin’ Paylin.” The spelling is sic and so is Hustler. You betcha!

The faux Sarah is Lisa Ann, who “will be nailing the Russians who come knocking on her back-door.” In another scene — a flashback — “young Paylin’s creationist college professor will explain a ‘big bang’ theory even she can’t deny!”

There’s also a threeway with Hillary and Condoleezza look-alikes.

The video is in pre-production, but is being fast tracked for release before the election.

The chick they’ve just hired to play Clinton in the three-way is well-known adult film star Nina Hartley. =)

I love this firstly because it’s hilarious, and secondly because it goes to the heart of the issue better than any reasoned rant by a political pundit. Sarah Palin is popular because she’s a MILF. The men want to do her, the women want to be her, and everyone can imagine sharing a low-cost drink with her – such as a fitty or some boxed wine. All of which is fine and good, but THOSE ARE NOT THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR A FUTURE VICE PRESIDENT. Hello!

Seriously, think about it. If Hillary Clinton had the qualifications of Sarah Palin, people would laugh her right out of the race. Don’t even TRY to tell me they wouldn’t, because I would believe you. Because you’d be lying.

This is a fabulously funny video my new Danish friend Kathrine turned me onto, in which a British guy goes to an old school friend’s home and proceeds to “poke” him, “write on his wall”, and do many of the other things that are interaction options on Facebook. It doesn’t translate to real life well at all, and hilarity ensues.

For those of you who either haven’t seen this in a while, or haven’t seen it at all, I present the joy that is Stephen Colbert roasting the SHIZZ out of “President” Bush at the 2006 White House Correspondent’s Dinner. This took some serious cojones, but it was SO worth it!
